PIDV AMBEserver installation nightmare
|
Hi everyone!
I have tried to compile AMBEserver following the directions on the NWDR the old method (deprecated), the new method suggested by VK4TUX which has no make file when you use the github link on the NWDR site. It says it install the server in /usr/sbin when it install in /usr/bin instead. I have tried to set up on three different Raspberry Pi's A, B and B+ I also tried Compass Linux that says it comes per-installed but you have to install all dependencies wiringPi etc..Does not work at all. It has worked once when I bought it back in 2014 but I had to format my SD card and reinstall everything from scratch. Is there an easy way to do it? I'm giving up. I've spent so many hours on it I don't know anymore if it's worth it. When I do sudo AMBEserverGPIO -i /dev/ttyAMA0 with or without the start I get Reset DV3000 Wrote Reset 5 chars AMBEserver: unknown byte from the DV3000, 0x01AMBEserver: unknown byte from the DV3000, 0x00AMBEserver: unknown byte from the DV3000, 0x39. Or using the old python method : sudo ./dv3000d dv3000d has been deprecated, please use AMBEserverGPIO for DV3000 or AMBEserver for DV3000U Board is recognized sudo python AMBEtest2.py d 8 N 1 False False False 0 9 Reset 6100010033 Wrote: 5 bytes Version 6100010031 Wrote: 5 bytes Set DSTAR Mode 61000c000a013007634000000000000048 Wrote: 17 bytes Any thoughts? Thank you Flavio VE2ZFP

Flavio, Sorry you are having difficulties. The response you are getting does not indicate that you are communicating with the PiDV. If you are using Compass -> https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/compass/wiki/Installing-Compass-Linux-for-Raspberry-Pi#Supported-Raspberry-Pi-Processors (The boards you are using are not recommended for Compass Linux) Here are some helpful notes - https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum I will try to get some time to write a better test program for the Pi.

As it happens I am in the process of installing a project using my ThumbDV and part of the instructions to check communication with the ThumbDV is :- python AMBEtest3.py -n -s /dev/ttyUSB0 Setting ... /dev/ttyUSB0 d 8 N 1 False False False Reset 6100010033 Wrote: 5 bytes a9 Product ID 6100010030 Wrote: 5 bytes a 0AMBE3000R <-------------------------this Version 6100010031 Wrote: 5 bytes a11V120.E100.XXXX.C106.G514.R009.B0010411.C0020208 <-----and this Set DSTAR Mode 61000c000a013007634000000000000048 Wrote: 17 bytes a this and this indicate communication to/from the ThumbDV. I am using this on a RaspberryPi 2 with :- Linux 4.1.19-v7+ #1 SMP Fri Mar 11 14:31:11 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Hope this helps a little ? Regards, Ian..

When we were troubleshooting the problem with the ThumbDV and the Raspberry Pi, Mike N4IRR wrote a Python script to better test the DV3000. The script works with the PiDV, ThumbDV and AMBEserver. If you want to give it a try it is at <https://github.com/N4IRS/Analog_Bridge/blob/master/DV3000/AMBEtest4.py> Hope this help. 73, Steve N4IRS

Apparently it does not need the wiringPI, am I right?
Correct me if I'm mistaken. Does it work with the PIDV? Thanks I'll give it a try.

PiDV is a serial device attached to the UART on the header.
